Smart architecture to simulate,learn and take correct decisions

Synchronization Lab

Sync.Lab is an Ethernet / IP laboratory with advanced synchronization features that replicates actual architectures.
It includes Transmission nodes, Master/Slave PTP clocks, WAN emulation, Packet capture appliances and Field Testers that have been
designed for experts willing to experiment telecom architectures under real traffic conditions. With Sync.Lab engineer will be able to model and simulate real networks minimizing risks while taking correct buying, configuration and trobleshooting decisions.

execute Proof of Concept of a certain architectures

demonstrate feasibility of new appliances

verify and compare telecom nodes and network clocks

conduct approval and acceptance test on selected components

verify network compliance to the standards

test specific quality requirements

demonstrate interoperability with the installed base

select the most suitable resources

train students and professional

investigate new solutions and architectures

learn how to configure and troubleshoot real networks

Sync.Lab is intended to satify the demands of Telecom Manufacturers, Operators, Research Centers and also is an excellent platform to train the staff that will learn how to install and maintain Ethernet / IP transmission networks using PTP and SyncE clocks.

Sync.Lab Architecture

Sync.Lab is built with a combination of the following ALBEDO components:

ALBEDO telecom will supply original telecomunication books and offer training courses at your presimises or in our headquarters.

Objectives

TE operators, Power utilities, Airports, Railways and Finance Corporations are adopting PTP as a new paradigm for timing distribution across
the existing Ethernet/IP networks. Sync.Lab is a reasonable solution for manufacturers, universities and operators willing to run trials, research programs
or learning in a real platform. Every single resource can be spotted and manipulated by the users including reference clocks, traffic load, synchronization
profiles, network conditions, frames formats, etc. while a test suite can be run to test and verify every single feature at transmission and timing layers.

Network Design

Sync.Lab provides valuable insight to design
networks and Ethernet and PTP
planes. It is possible to verify QoS, find tolerances
or testing new appliances. Experts
will quickly characterize those resources
that are in a good shape and which ones
require intervention.

Service Activation

The first step it the analysis of KPI of the
network that has to transport in terms of capacity
and quality that can be determined
executing RFC 2544 and eSAM with
Ether.Genius tester

Load data traffic

The protocol PTP is designed to work under
highly occupied networks that may
cause undesired effects such as delay variation
that affect Quality. Sync.Lab can emulate
data traffic while time messages are
transmitted. Engineers can verify if the network
are capable to operate properly under
different load scenarios.

Telecom timing

Several test are possible to verify Boundary Clock (BC), Transparent Clock (TC) and Ordinary Clock (OC). Grandmaster and time distribution network can be verified with two modes: Net.Sync in slave mode (not time reference) and also in pseudo slave. Ether.Genius can play the role of a
Grand Master or Slave to substitute a clock under test. It si also possible to know the quality of 1pps output (or any other output signal)
from PTP slave.

Users
